Storybook Friends & more

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share some more about #OnStageRaleigh and some of the wonderful swaps I’ve received, so this will be another longer post. lol Today I’m going to start with the swaps, but you’ll want to read all the way to the end since I’ll be sharing the NEW 2025 In Colors with you too!

Since it is the first day of spring I thought I’d start with cards that make me think spring. So I’m going to start with the cards I received with the Storybook Moments Suite (164681) as I have a fun 3d tutorial using this product that I’ll be sharing with you tomorrow. This first card the Storybook Friends Dies (164674) and our Basics Wow! Embossing Powder (165679) to create the fun frames that you see.

Simply add VersaMark Pad (102283/102193) to your card stock, sprinkle with the embossing powder and heat. Voila! shinny frames that have kind of a patina look The sentiment is from the Unbounded Love Stamp set (163378). This next card uses the fun pack of Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (164662) and it’s die cut pieces to create this simple note card.

This next card uses the Spotlight on Nature Bundle (163581) one of my favorite since the dies are so versatile. It also uses the

This card uses just two colors Memento Tuxedo Black and Misty Moonlight making it quick and easy. The Elements of Text stamp set (Online Exclusive 164774) that has been used behind the sentiment and image gives it some texture along with the Tinsel Gems Three Pack (161624).

These next to card use the Memorable Blooms Bundle (164826) and their color choice give them such different feels. This first card has a soft feel

and this next card that uses our Unbound Beauty Designer Series Paper (163372) has a more bold feel with its Petunia Pop and Summer Splash colors.

And check out this fun card using the Happiest Day stamp set (163605) who can resist this bright cheerful colors?

And for my last card today that I’ll be sharing with you the Thankful Garden Bundle (Online Exclusive 165534).

Done in blues these flowers make me think of my Mother-in-Law who always had them in her yard. Do you see the Two Tone Sparkle Gems (Online Exclusive 164633)? This gems are just beautiful in person and add a lovely hint of color with their two tones.

Now on to a bit about #OnStage, our first full day included sharing and learning about the new 2025 Annual Catalog and Online Exclusives that are coming soon.

In the evening we had a choice to participate in OnStage After Hours and play with the new products! Who can resist that?

As we gathered with new and old friends at our tables we crafted! Here are the cards I made that evening using the upcoming May Online Exclusive, Impressions Abloom stamp set (Online Exclusive 165605).

And here is one using the Turtle-y Awesome stamp set (165223) that will be available in the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog and is part of a suite

that my table mate made. Same sketch with a twist. Isn’t he cute? Watch for more coming on this sketch in my tutorials soon.

And of course you’ll be wanting to see the NEW 2025 In Colors, right? They are a beautiful sets of colors that I think you’ll enjoy adding to your current color selection.

In the order on the photo they are Darling Duckling, Timid Tiger, Cloud Cover, Strawberry Slush and Secret Sea. I’m thinking the Secret Sea is going to be a wonderful neutral to use in projects as it seems like it is almost black.

Stay tuned for color comparisons with our current colors as we get closer to the catalog launch.

#OnStage Swaps & More

Posted on by

Wow. I’m back and trying to catch up and catch my breath again after another fantastic Stampin’ Up! event in Raleigh. My mind is always a swirl with fresh ideas created by the inspiration of gathering with my fellow demonstrators.

As for many of you in the South who experienced the bad weather over the weekend I was glad it wasn’t worse driving back to Georgia on Sunday with the storm we arrived safely at home. The winds were kind of crazy for a bit as we drove across North Carolina but it could have been worse. It was horrible to hear of the loss that evening of so many lives as it moved across the south. Spring storms are definitely here.

Today I wanted to share some of the event with you through pictures. As always Stampin’ Up! creates a fun feel with lots of color. My husband walked over with me as we entered the convention hall and picked and stopped at registration.

He’s a cutie, isn’t he? I think Larry has enjoyed the change to join me for the last couple of OnStage events and is already asking about the next one 🙂 Here I am with our bags

This year although I had my 16th Anniversary right before the event, I was able to celebrate my 15th Anniversary with my friends as we walked across stage together.

Stampin’ Up! had some fun ways to celebrate those milestones too with their displays and sneak peeks like this one with our photo opportunity.

It’s also always nice to see someone we’ve connected before in line and chat while we wait.

I actually was speaking with my table mate from the Maui Incentive Trip Luau, Betsy this time.

And of course what could be more exciting than getting the NEW 2025 Annual Catalog in our hands for the first time?

It’s a beautiful book with some of our favorite organizational items coming back that allow us to keep track of what we have and find things quickly. I love the way Stampin’ Up! listens to us and responds.

After our opening session we had a wonderful welcome party that included a silent disco and some yummy treats. This was a lot of fun with the 3 different genres we had to choose from. It was fun to people watch and move to our favorite tunes, what ever they might be.

They had told us to wear white for the evening and was that a sight, 2200 demonstrators dressed in white walking through the area. I think we turned some heads. I snapped this picture as we were starting to wind down and head back to the hotel. Wish I’d gotten one with the blacklights on earlier 🙂

While I’ll share some more photos of the event I thought I’d end my post with some of the fun swaps I received during the course of the event. I love to swap with my fellow demonstrators and see all the different styles and products.

This first card uses the Meant to Bee Bundle (Scrapbook Brochure 167243)

Isn’t the Cute as Can Bee Designer Series Paper (Scrapbook Brochure 166621) cute as can bee? And I love that our products work so well together check out the cute little Tiny Bee Trinkets (164714) next to the sentiment for a bit more pop.

And how about these next 2 cards using the You are Remarkable stamp set (Online Exclusive 165445)

And how about another Online Exclusive Bundle? These two cards use the Year of the Flower Bundle (Online Exclusive 165375).

Simple stamping? or the addition of dies? Which do you like better? And last but not least here is an adorable take on the Etch a Sketch

using the Cutest Cows stamp set (162892) and it’s coordinating Cutest Cows Builder Punch (162896). The window was created with the Nested Essential Dies (161597). Cute idea? I think so of course for me the Etch a Sketch was a bust as a child, I couldn’t make much of a picture.

So there you so I’m going to be sharing swaps with you again tomorrow so stop on by and check them out!

Card Sketches Crate Tutorial

Posted on by

I’ve been sharing my card sketches with you over the past months and today I’m going to share one of the ways I store them on my desk with this cute little crate I decorated.

I’ve used a inexpensive wooden crate that I found at my local dollar store to decorate and have given you a PDF that even has the labels that you can die cut in both black and Blackberry Bliss so you can choose how you decorate your little crate. Simply print the PDF you want on Basic White Card stock and go!

These card sketches are great for inspiration and having them handy on my desk makes it easy to get started!

I’ve punched a hole on them and put them on a ring to keep them together so they sit up nicely in my wooden crate.

Want to see how I decorated this crate? I’ve got a PDF and video tutorial for you so you can make them too!

Mixed Floral Fun Fold Card Tutorial

Posted on by

I’ve been sharing products from the Mini Catalog, so today I’ll be sharing a fun fold that uses one of our March Online Exclusive Suites, Mixed Media Florals Suite (Online Exclusive 164659).

This fun fold not only highlights the lovely images from the Mixed Florals Stamp set (Online Exclusive 164639) it also shows off both sides of the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper (Online Exclusive 164638) when you open it.

I’ve used my Stampin’ Blends to create a bold watercolor look that mimics the Designer Series Paper for the focal point. And don’t you just love the little stitched detail edging on the die cut sentiment piece that I created using the Mixed Labels Dies (Online Exclusive 164652)?

Check out this quick video I’ve made for you showing you how I created this card.

I’m also including a PDF with the complete supply list, step by step direction and the YouTube link so you have everything in one place when you get ready to create!

Posted on by

Today I’ve got another tutorial sharing another fun card using the Darling Dinos stamp set (164728) and a Card Sketch I’ll be sharing with you too!

Today’s card uses the same Timeless Plaid 6×6 Designer Series Paper (164678) I shared with you on Monday and even yesterday too, but a different color pallet! I love the way we can do that with our Stampin’ Blends and a pack of our Designer Series Paper like this one. The color choices are endless.

I’ve been sharing these with you over the past months so you’ll be able to see them in my Sketches Category if you missed some and want to see my others PDFs so you can create them all.
